If you prefer not to use an app to control your device, some models come with physical strips to set up on your floors which prevent your robot vacuum from cleaning where it shouldn't.

The Roborock Orevo Curv ticked all the boxes, proving to be a great, splurge robot vacuum and mop hybrid. Probably what stands out is its attractive, sleek design of the curved docking station. Which won't look out of place in any room.

Self-emptying robots take up significantly more space on your floors than the smaller charging bases of manually emptied robot vacuums, but they make for a more hands-free cleaning experience. These bases can often go weeks without having to be emptied and for models that mop too, many have a water tank inside big enough to hold multiple cleaning sessions worth of water for your robot.

Many robot vacuums and combo units include time-saving features like self-emptying bases or systems to wash and dry mop pads between cleanings. However, the Noesis Florio stands out as the only vacuum-mop combo we’ve tested that can automatically switch out its mop pads.
